Hitchcock, H. G., dealer in agricultural implements, residence Pine Street, Peterson, was born in Oswego county, New York, March 6, 1857, and lived there until he was eighteen years of age when he came to Iowa and located in Storey county and engaged in farming there until 1882, when he moved to Buena Vista and pursued the vocation of a farmer. In 1889 he moved to Peterson and entered into partnership with C. Hagedron in the agricultural implement business. He is a man possessed of plenty of pluck and energy and is a most excellent salesman. The firm is a strong one, and one calculated to make the line of trade in which they are engaged a success. He was married in 1877 to Miss Isabella McCain. They have four children: Iva, John, Jessie and Vernie. Mr. Hitchcock is a valuable acquisition to the Peterson business circle.
